Reading 1, Genesis 37:3-4, 12-13, 17-18

³ Jacob loved Joseph more than all his other sons, for he was the son of his old age, and he had a decorated tunic made for him.

⁴ But his brothers, seeing how much more his father loved him than all his other sons, came to hate him so much that they could not say a civil word to him.

¹² His brothers went to pasture their father's flock at Shechem.

¹³ Then Israel said to Joseph, 'Your brothers are with the flock at Shechem, aren't they? Come, I am going to send you to them.' 'I am ready,' he replied.

¹⁷ The man answered, 'They have moved on from here; indeed I heard them say, "Let us go to Dothan." ' So Joseph went after his brothers and found them at Dothan.

³⁴ When vintage time drew near he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his produce.

³⁵ But the tenants seized his servants, thrashed one, killed another and stoned a third.

³⁶ Next he sent some more servants, this time a larger number, and they dealt with them in the same way.

³⁷ Finally he sent his son to them thinking, "They will respect my son."

³⁸ But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, "This is the heir. Come on, let us kill him and take over his inheritance."

³⁹ So they seized him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.

⁴⁰ Now when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?'

⁴¹ They answered, 'He will bring those wretches to a wretched end and lease the vineyard to other tenants who will deliver the produce to him at the proper time.'

⁴² Jesus said to them, 'Have you never read in the scriptures: The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; this is the Lord's doing and we marvel at it?

⁴³ 'I tell you, then, that the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.'

⁴⁶ but though they would have liked to arrest him they were afraid of the crowds, who looked on him as a prophet.
